Chapter 1 – 001 New Hero Association
No more, no less, just a world that feels roughly ruined.
A world that has been slightly ruined to the extent that bottle caps are not used as currency.
Somehow, the rules of the world changed little by little, and people started not dying with a single bullet, or people who mumbled a strange sound called the status window began to become hunters who beat the monsters that just popped out…
Awakened artificial intelligence fought a terrifyingly big fight with mankind, or in the meantime, they were connected to a world that could only come out of a fantasy novel, so you can see the prickly cat ears…
It’s a rough mess, it’s a world where artificial intelligence with human rights and other worlds are combined, but…
“Huhhhhh”
Rather than worrying about this world that is still running well without anything special, dig up the bank application installed on the communication terminal! Sonia sighs as she sees the floating bank balance.
In this world where monsters and dungeons appear, it is not strange that heroes and adventurers appear in Sky City, the city where Sonia lives.
A long time ago, hunters were called awakened people who specialize in dealing with monsters, but Sonia is a person of the present era, past that era, so she was just a hero, and belonged to an association where such heroes entered and received requests…
–
[You’re going out of business! Thank you for using Merging Point Association in the meantime!
…There is no problem with the law~★ It is an idiot to trust 20% interest and entrust all property~☆]
“Yes. I am currently in an association in Sky City. This Merging Point Association, which is the cause of the implementation of the Hero’s Obligatory Guidelines, which had not been enacted in the meantime.
As you can see, there is only a sticker indicating the closure of the business at the entrance. As you can see, the heroes who appear to belong to the association appear to be breaking in and taking the association’s supplies.”
“Wow! My money! I have to ask for my money!”
“I even took out a loan and put it in… Eh heh. I don’t know★ …Who are you? Why all of a sudden? This…Let go of this!”
–
“Uh…”
Yesterday evening. It might have been a slightly different story if Sonia had rushed to the association at dawn instead of watching the [Until a Genius Mechanic Falls into a Lewd Cow~] Series on Nebulix, a video service site she often uses in front of her computer!
Even though it’s all the property of this swindled D-class hero girl, it’s Sonia who seems to have lost her immediate living expenses. It seems that there are heroes who deliberately took loans and put them into the association, so the amount is not much based on the association’s victim ranking.
However, there was a possibility that all of Sonia’s property could be returned, but now the poor association employee is hanging from a telephone pole, and the heroes who thought they should just take these from the sofa, computer, and beverage vending machine that were prepared for the heroes of the association are just random. Looking to take care of.
Of course, Sonia isn’t the type to go on an adventure to get used electronics or furniture by rushing into the crowd of heroes who seem like they’re about to explode with a single blow.
How Merging Point was able to cast a scam on so many victims that Sky City’s association rules were rechecked.
From some point on, the compensation to be paid properly is induced to be selected with gift certificates issued by the association instead of the currency used in Sky City… Additional payment of 5%…10%… Up to 20% advertised with natural interest payments later.
After that, the Mercing Point Hero Association, like the Adventurers Association, not simple repair tools or recovery items like other associations, but daily necessities sold at marts, were taken in by the Association, so most of the requests went one step further from assembling a computer by myself. Considering that it was a facility inspection, Sonia belongs to the smart side.
Of course, Sonia is smart, but not weak, gullible, or ignorant, just like most scientists have a bit of trouble communicating.
Received the commission fee in coins issued by the association, not in the currency used in Sky City… Sonia, who lived well by buying rice and doing this and that…
“I won’t be fooled again…!
… It’s already too late to say that, but… Haa…”
Sky City’s common D-class hero Sonia, who has already been beaten, but promises herself that she will never fall for a scammer association like Merging Point again.
Still, her body is stronger than that of normal people, and her head is spinning, so it’s a relief that I was able to live on my own by working as a hero in this harsh world… Sonia’s communication terminal rings when she thinks.
Of course, there are less than 10 phone numbers for people you know. An unknown number displayed on Sonia’s communication terminal. Sonia, walking home, pressed the button on the communication terminal because the money to get a bus card was a waste at the association, which had staged a rare scam called the Merging Point Association.
“Hello?”
-Hello? Based on the Sky City Association takeover regulations, we have contacted the personal communication contact information of the hero Sonia, who has been taken over. The person who answered the phone right now is Sonia. Are you right?
Sonia gets a call from an unknown number Hello? The next time I took a break, I couldn’t erase the voice that spoke as if I had just practiced, and the feeling that only the empty name in the written manual was changed to Sonia, but that hard feeling seems to be because there are many types of people in the world. And passed Sonia.
Adventurers, heroes, and hunters who form a party are already common in dungeons, and there are also people from other worlds who came over from the other side of the fantasy world with androids. It was Sonia.
“Yes that’s right!”
Of course, what comes next is, ‘Yes, that’s right! How did you call’
Then, introducing herself as an employee of the newly formed Hero Association, she returned to the D-class hero’s answer with a question, ‘Are you a member of the Association as of the current time?’ The association staff asked as if there was a hard and fixed framework.
In accordance with Sky City’s association regulations, Sonia’s phone number was taken over and contacted… Sonia was slightly embarrassed by her unique accent, which seemed to have restrained emotions, but not an electronic synthesized sound.
However, rather than panicked, it was Sonia who looked excited as if she had expected and waited.
“Ah…! Is that? That’s right? That… Scout! If there’s no major problem, other associations said they’d accept it, at least in the form of recruitment, right? Thank goodness…”
-Yes. Exactly. Miss Sonia. As a result of reading the activity records of the existing association, I would like to scout to our association. For more details, please visit the association directly.
Ttuk… Tttt…
After saying only the words according to the set manual in a hard and strange way, the D-class hero’s ‘J..Right now…I’ll go right away!’ To the voice, ‘Yes. Miss Sonia. Then I will wait for your visit.’ Another association employee who just hangs up without an answer like ‘yes, ho ho ho~’.
Tirling~ A gift has arrived!
[Sky City Transportation Card Ticket]
“Five…”
However, before Sonia was dumbfounded, the taxi gifticon sent as an image file to the communication terminal forgave everything.
It’s not a minimum amount, but a ticket that allows you to take a taxi on the way back home even if you take a taxi to the association that wants to scout Sonia, who just marked the map location here.
“Hey! Taxi!”
The hand of Sonia, the hero of Sky City, stretched out on the side of the road.
Seeing the outstretched hand, the taxi slowly approached and stopped. As the era is the era, it was Sonia who got into the taxi that opened naturally.
…
…
“Go here please!”
“Yes. The location has been confirmed. The estimated time of arrival is 44 minutes and 32 seconds.
Thank you for using Sky City’s third transportation company today.”
You can say the address or just the name of the association, but as long as the era is the era. It is an era in which the rights of some high-performance artificial intelligence are recognized, and it is an era in which we have succeeded in achieving amazing technological advances.
It’s already been a long time since we moved from the era of live firearms to laser or plasma-based beam energy weapons, of course, they are often used, but it’s an era of good technological development, but in the past, wars with artificial intelligence, monsters and dungeons popping out, so the world is getting harder to live in. There was even a saying.
At that time, Sonia, who did not know the atmosphere or the country, had no way to know what had happened and had no intention of knowing what had happened, but Sonia had just seen …
The hero who said he had borrowed money and invested all of it himself in front of the Merging Point Association, which was involved in a rare scam, is dragged around his neck with a suppression collar full of electronic products, and everyone seems to think so. Or not…
